Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Union County). Everything went their way against the Hopkins County Central Storm on Thursday as they made off with a 16-1 victory. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Payton Garrett was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and four runs. He is becoming a predictor of Union County's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 11-15 when he doesn't). Tate Nobles also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Union County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .774. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory made it two in a row for Union County and bumps their season record up to 13-16. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games.
